I actually went to a show last night!
Lydia Loveless at DC9.
I looked for Hutch among the sea of men, but didn't see him.

I didn't go…I am going to less shows…mainly cause of the kids….
How was the show?
Very nice show. Obviously longer than when she opened for Old 97's at 9:30. She's fun to watch, as is her husband (the standup bass guy with the long locks in her band).
Less shows is a natural progression that comes with marriage, kids, and age, methinks. Ratbastard's dad being the obvious exception.

Slowdive was great….missed low and meeting any of the boardies though
I was hoping to pick up some of those new 930 earplugs…but they were sold out…and am I feeling it this morning.
Sounded really good all over the room. It was a little hard maneuvering
It was very sold out
I didn't see any slamdancing, but there were a few guys up front grooving pretty hard. But most had their big hipster glasses on and stared at their sneeks
After seeing Mogwai earlier this year…I can see the 1 to 1 coloration vividly
Picked up a kewl pedal shirt …goes 1 louder

In 2014 Slowdive reformed for a round the world tour. They asked me to pitch for T-Shirt ideas and this is the one they chose, it was also used on mugs. Such a privilege & honour to get to do this one.
If you are not familiar with Slowdive, you should know that they are famous for their use of guitar pedals, creating majestic atmospheric & very loud soundscapes, influencing everyone from Sigur Ros to Mogwai along the way. Therefore I came up with the Slowdive pedal, it does everything you can imagine, has 6 inputs and dual stereo optical outputs. Obviously it goes 1 louder just in case anyone gets too serious about it…

Show of the year for me, perfect bill. I hoped Low would play a bit longer, but I'm glad they played three new songs, and that I could see them at 9:30 Club with a good sound. Slowdive was so great, I like the sound so much, with the only slight issue being a few weaker songs and uneven vocals.
There were a few rough patches of feedback as far as sound goes but other than that, it was perfect for me. Vocals were clearer on some songs more so than others but (I could be wrong here) I think that might have been done on purpose.
Yes, this is how their soundguy mixes the vocals. Neil's vocals were even louder last time I saw them.
The Wilco shows from the Ryman have looked pretty darn good, nice to see them switching things up a bit.

I really wanted that shirt, but only had $15 bucks left of spending money for the night…
(also Low were fantastic! You missed out!)
Slowdive were so good Really enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would. Opening with "Slowdive" was perfect. The vocals may have been too low at a couple of points, but I think you can get away with it when it comes to shoegaze. And I imagine that this kind of show can be tricky to get the sound correct on, so major props to the sound techs last night.
Nice to meet (technically for a 2nd time!) Rogue and finally meet Azaghal, hope we can all get together for another show sooner than later.

To agree with everyone else, Slowdive and Low were a fantastic double bill and a definite show of the year candidate. A thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Scroll down to the second to last paragraph (Blowtel gig).
I heard about this incident minutes after it happened but felt like it wasn't my place to talk/post about it. But now it's public knowledge. As far as I know, bouncer in question still has his job and wasn't even reprimanded.

Case looks airtight all right
The Danny Elfman Music For The Films of Tim Burton concert at the Kennedy Center tonight was really special, especially the first half of the program.
Saturday night is the final performance. If you enjoy film scores, this is a really unique opportunity to see this impressive career-spanning Elfman/Burton collection performed live.

No, just a Who's Who of the Baltimore music scene was there.

That was just the first name that came to mind when I read that phrase.
Foo Fighters report? Loved the Sonic Highways episode. Still just can't like the music though! All the new songs sound like Queens rip offs. But, I love what they're doing! So torn!
I heard that that Sonic Highways focused way too much on that virtually unknown band here that Dave Grohl recorded drum tracks for or something and that they were portrayed as the next big DC thing.
